AEP

The Applied Innovation encapsulation protocol works with messages traveling between X.25 and TCP/IP protocols. AEP allows for packet preservation of X.25 data when transport is over a TCP/IP network. This protocol keeps packet boundaries intact, which is useful for X.25 applications that are highly sensitive to packet integrity.

AEPN

The Applied Innovation encapsulation protocol with the network option is used for messages traveling between X.25 and TCP/IP protocols. In addition to the services provided by the AEP protocol, the AEPN also passes X.25 Q-bit information over a TCP/IP connection. AEPN also handles special information such as break signals.
